I’m inclined to think the earlier date is more accurate, since Mexico started building CKD Beetles in 1952, and Volkswagen’s own museum clearly pegs the first non-German Beetle at 1950. Also, newspapers like the Irish Independent from 1950 report on the parts coming to Ireland, and other stories about O’Flaherty’s venture from that year. I have no idea why VW Group Ireland’s website timeline seems to tell a different story. I’ll look into it. Eventually, the Beetle was built, in CKD kits and full factories, all over the world. Beetles were built in Mexico, Brazil, South Africa, the Philippines, Australia, Belgium, Indonesia, Yugoslavia, Venezuela, ...

Giants spring training Day 31: Bumgarner dominates in lengthy outing. SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Michael Morse’s spring training charge continued in the bottom of the seventh inning Friday, with a scorched double to the gap that led to the lone Giants run of the night. The coaches have seen enough of Morse this spring to know the bat speed is still there. This game against the Rockies was significant for other reasons. Morse played left field for the first time this spring, and while it was a mixed bag, he seemed to get a nice endorsement from his manager after the game. “You look at our history and we’ve put some guys in left field who are maybe not the fastest, like (Pat) Burrell and (Travis) Ishikawa,” Bruce Bochy said. “But if the bat plays, you find a place for them.”.
